My laptop is not getting connected to internet while all my friends laptop can. So i thought its my laptop fault or i should update my drivers or something but the interesting thing is i can connect to another wifi router and get internet access so whose problem is that? ISP or my laptop? I forgot to mention u that ISP is same for both the routers.
My system info is its a dell xps15 with a intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 1030
I am pasting the info which i got after giving ipconfig /all

Go to Drivers & Downloads enter your service tag number, then select your operating system. Under Network, download and install the latest drivers.
Try these tweaks....
Start, control panel, device manager. Click on Network and then right click on your wireless adapter, left click properties, power management. Uncheck the box, allow computer to turn off this device to save power.
Go to the power options, and changed the Wireless Adapter Setting, from Maximum Power Setting to Maximum Performance.
Try power cycling the routers and modems?
Power off your ISP modem/router and your wireless router(if any) for 30 seconds. Then power on the ISP modem/router. Wait 15 seconds, then power on the wireless router(if any)
Hey rick, Thanks for the response :) .. K i am using Microsoft Security Essential as my antivirus program, The last time i reinstalled my OS is around 8-10mnths back and im not sure about the order of drivers installation and i tried those tweaks u suggested and made no difference. I also have ubuntu in my system but i am able to connect to internet using the same wifi :o ... I did reinstall one of my network driver before posting the issue here. Thank you :)

Restart the computer and try to connect.
What happens?
